  According to my own research he has three active accounts (that I know of) and another two registered to various addresses. One of which is Canvey Island..

  You can conceal your identity online, but not your personality or 'pattern' of behaviour 😯

  He's threatened to leave negative feedback on my account from his 'multiple eBay identities'. Clearly he has a very firm grasp of the way eBay operates, albeit from a sociopathic thinking process.

  I'll update this as it goes through the legal process.

  If anyone wishes to report Parkes, or indeed anyone who abuses/threatens you online there's a wealth of information on what to do here: (new legislation is coming into play on a regular basis, but this site is excellent)

  EBay do have a duty of care to protect it's members from Hate Crimes. Unfortunately that duty of care has never been tested in British courts.

  This may change 😀

  I can't, not yet! Taking him to court in August. Going to go all the way with this one as he's very 'special' ;)

  Currently pursuing two avenues:

  Small claims for recovery of cash.

  Hate Speech.

  The latter is more likely to succeed to be honest, and if so likely punishable by jail term, not a fine. Especially so if this behaviour is ongoing and he has previous. I'd imagine he's had at least one warning from the police. That's enough usually, with Hate Crimes.

  It IS Martyn Parkes!! He's changed his MO slightly (now ex army, as an ex police officer threatening members of the public is a criminal offence), I had a gobshite of abuse from him over a chain ring that was gash. Threatened me with coming round and giving me a good seeing to. He sometimes pretends it's his 'wife' in eBay messages.

  AS IF.

  He's going by the name of 'Nigel' now, and sells a lot of postcards and belt buckles. I just bought a postcard off him, so now I know where HE lives. Hull, mostly.

  I've also sent him a series of legal letters (I'm in the profession myself) which kinda drop from your letterbox like a lead hammer. They cost me nothing.

  Two can play his game, but I like to think I can play it a little better ;)
